My body has been calling for my attention all day.
Another wave of urgency.
Another invitation to listen.
Not long ago, fear would have taken over. I would have searched for answers, called doctors, wanted medicine, or rushed to the emergency room.
But something is different now.
Today, I am sitting beside the little girl inside me and reminding her that she is safe.
Safe even in discomfort.
Safe even in uncertainty.
Safe even when the body is loud.
I don’t know exactly what my body is trying to tell me.
Perhaps it is asking me to feel grief that has been waiting patiently beneath the surface.
Perhaps it simply wants my attention.
My kindness.
My presence.
What I do know is that beneath the urgency, I sense something deeper.
A child who spent years expecting punishment.
A child who learned to brace for what might happen next.
Today, I offer her a different message.
There will be no punishment.
No blame.
No fear.
Only love.
Only reassurance.
Only the gentle reminder that she no longer has to be afraid.
